Blue Heron c/w Algonquin & Arrowhead Pass - Bring your pet free!

Blue Heron Cove on Walker Lake is a proud Award of Excellence recipient in the distinctive Algonquin Region and fully Registered 14 years running! License #311224851

This fully furnished all-season executive 1000 sq-ft private suite captures the heart and soul of Muskoka! The open concept living room features a traditional stone fireplace c/w 12' post and beams logs that revive the era of an early pioneer homestead. The open concept dining/living/and bedroom all face the west to what our guests refer to as the 'Million Dollar Sunset"

Each booking comes complete with an Algonquin Pass which also gains free access to the famous Arrowhead Park Trails located just 16 minutes away!! Even closer, is Limberlost Forest Trails, Hidden Valley and Deerhurst all just 7 to 8 minutes away!

The fully stocked kitchen is fully equipped with modern amenities such as microwave, refrigerator, and even features a cooking island! NEW: We now provide a Keurig Coffee machine c/w wide array of coffee and teas to enjoy :)

For quieter moments relax and unwind in our indoor jetted jacuzzi tub! Blue Heron includes a variety of board games, a wide selection of reading material, or enjoy watching Netfix and Amazon Prime ad-free on our 58" flat screen ROKU TV, or streaming your favourite music on our blue-ray soundbar :)

Blue Heron amenities include a romantic wood burning fireplace and complimentary canoe from Spring to Fall and 2 pairs of high tech snowshoes during the snowy season. We are conveniently located on year-round serviced roadways. Our flat level driveway has lots of parking space - NO hills to negotiate! Bring your pet free!

We converted a pine log cottage into a fully self contained independent 1000sqft private vacation apartment suite! As empty-nesters who quietly reside in the upper level, we offer a wide array of concierges services as you can see from all our five star reviews! Our guests enjoy full privacy throughout the grounds including private beach, treehouse, firepit, etc. Other than an optional brief orientation at arrival you will not see anyone unless you specifically request assistance. As you can see from all our wonderful feedback, we are just a text or phone call away from tips on what to see and do in the area. We offer the option of a self check in/check-out and provide personal electronic lock access to entrance, especially convenient for those arriving late at night. We leave out a welcome binder for easy reference on the cottage and activities in the area.

Whether you are 'stay-cationing' with a young family or exploring the wide array of activities Muskoka has to offer, you are sure to return home with lots of fun filled memories!

We are conveniently located just 15 minutes from the historical town of Huntsville, and 30 minutes from the gateway of world renown Algonquin Park.

We provide freshly laundered kitchen linens, blankets, pillows, and comforters. Guests would only need to bring their own queen sheet sets. For international guests, we can provide complimentary sheets, just let us know ahead of time : ) In addition, we provide a starter supply of firewood/kindling for both the fireplace and fire-pit and propane for the BBQ. Our starter supply lasts for a two night stay - for those that stay longer, we provide firewood on site at a nominal price for your convenience ;)

For those that need to keep connected , you would have full access to WiFi internet. Blue Heron is a naturalist delight - explore a waterfall in Algonquin Park, track a deer print, visit a historical sites, or simply 'Kick Back' and enjoy the natural beauty of a sunset overlooking serene Walker Lake in quintessential Muskoka chairs!

Throughout your stay you can choose from so much of what Muskoka has to offer. We are close enough to all the attractions such as golfing, skiing, restaurants, and yet far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern day living!

It’s perfect for both the young and old alike; whether you are traveling on business, vacationing, or escaping for a romantic getaway, the extra spacious setting accommodates everyone!

Blue Heron is proudly in affiliation with local renowned eco-artist Chad Irwin who would gladly provide unique personal guided nature tours. Let us know at time of booking and we will gladly set you up a tour that suits your interests :)

May Stay at Blue Heron

We had a wonderful time at Blue Heron this past long weekend! Our two dogs had a really lovely time, it was so nice to stay somewhere that was so pet-friendly and pet-prepared - everything you needed was thought of and accounted for. Susan and Dennis were so helpful and lovely, from switching our original check-in dates due to bad weather with no issues, to making sure we were set for fly season coming a bit early when we got in. We are so grateful for the lovely trip and are already looking forward to returning in the future. Highly recommend!

Friendly and helpful hosts who tolerated our little dogs barking :-), everything spot-clean, all appliances working. Beautiful yard with access to the lake, canoe provided, short distance to both Huntsville and 2 provincial parks. We had a great time. Thanks Susan and Dennis for hosting us! Vivienne and Matt

Perfect in so many ways!

What a wonderful stay at Blue Heron Cove. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay! The cottage was beautiful, quiet and very relaxing. Our dog sure loved swimming in the lake and running around the property. Blue Heron Suite was very clean and cozy and you provided so many helpful extras, even homemade soap! We enjoyed every bit of our stay and we look forward to another in the near future

Best time of my life

Susan and Dennis were amazing hosts! They informed me of the weather forecast for the week I was coming up and shared plenty of valuable information so I could pack accordingly. They waited until the evening to come and introduce themselves,(so I could enjoy a few hours of kayaking in pleasant weather.) They shared plenty of information about the surrounding area and all the activities/sights to see. Their property would suit couples, families or single people just looking to relax and adventure! Even my cat didn't want to leave at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend them to anyone, close to a good town with everything you could want and also near algonquin park!!

Beautiful outdoor-friendly property for all 4 seasons

The excellent / communicative hosts provided a ton of information about activities in the area (maps, pamphlets, directions, and even pass/parking for nearby park). Linens were professionally cleaned and sealed in plastic storage bags prior to check-in. Kitchen was immaculately clean and fully stocked with flatware / dishes / pans. Fridge/freezer were spotless and appeared recently sanitized. There were detailed instructions for the jet tub and the fireplace. Both the wood burning fireplace and outdoor bonfire area included wood. Hosts offered multiple options to communicate (email, text, app) and were very responsive to questions. 10/10

A Nice Place To Stay

My husband and I stayed two nights in late November, 2016. The location is excellent. On the waterfront, walk out the French doors to a beautiful, expansive view of the lake. There is a large, fieldstone walkway from the entrance towards the lake and the lawn. It's quite impressive but there is little fill between the stones so you have to be careful walking across it. The surrounding area is great for taking a walk and we enjoyed the serenity we were surrounded with. When we arrived it was dark. Don't arrive in the dark. There is only a skinny, dirt pathway to a set of outdoor stairs you have to duck under before you arrive at an outdoor patio under a deck belonging to the upper part of the home. It was difficult to navigate especially with luggage. The cottage is actually a lower-level, above-grade apartment in a large cottage home. The owner, who lives upstairs, was very welcoming, helpful, and was on hand for any questions or concerns. We did hear the owner from time to time walking across the floor over us as well as hearing the sound of dishes being handled. The apartment was very clean and spacious and it has plenty of large windows. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bathroom and living/dining room were roomy, There were ample linens and toiletries. We did find the two black sofas were well used (black tape duck covered a new places) and they were not comfortable to lounge on. That said, we are in our late 50s so sitting or lying on something ultra firm is a challenge. The bed was comfortable but it was high off the floor and up against a wall. There also is a crib but we couldn't move it out of the way to center the bed so we could get in on either side. We did pull it out about 30cm from the wall and we both got by with the narrow space to walk on either side. If you're flexible and not fussy you'll be fine. A nice place to stay for two people.

Susan and Dennis were amazing from the moment we requested the booking to the moment we got home after our weekend. Beautiful spot on the lake, ample wood for two nights of fire in the indoor fireplace and close to Provincial Parks and Huntsville for the rainy day we had. We will definitely be returning with our girls.

Beautiful location

We had the pleasure of staying at Susan & Dennis' property to be close to skiing at Arrowhead. Communication was exceptional and quick. Susan even made the reservations for us to ski. The apartment was spacious and cozy. A fire in the fireplace was already awaiting us when we arrived. There were many generous things that were provided that were not overlooked...tea, coffee pods, spices, doggie bags, bowls of treats for us etc. These sorts of provisions are not always included in a rental so these were a nice treat. The area was quiet and beautiful even in the winter. There's a firepit at the lake but it was too windy for us to make use of it. We were able to walk the road with our pooch without issue. Thanks so much Susan & Dennis for a very enjoyable stay.

Honeymooned At Blue Heron

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron! Property was beautiful, living area well decorated and comfortable! Owners very helpful and respectful of our privacy. We really appreciated how well supplied it was with a canoe, bug jackets, bug spray, epsom salts and handmade soap, spices and some cream in the fridge, small notes all over to help with navigating, and a small dish of chocolates/candy on the counter really sweentened the deal :) It was easy to feel right at home :) We also appreciated the Algonquin pass and the extensive information on what activities and restaurants that were available in the area! Thanks again for making our first week as a married couple so special! Matt and Brenda

Such a great time, we are coming back in the summe

So glad we found this perfect little place. Susan is an awesome host and what other people say is correct. She is here if you need anything but other than that, you have complete privacy. It was very cold during our stay so we didn't venture out a lot, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet by the fire. Another great thing is that they are completely dog friendly. The place is very clean, and has everything you need (and more). We have already booked for a summer weekend so we can enjoy the dock, swimming, canoeing and some hiking. We highly recommend this place!

Exceptional service and felt like home

My family and I were extremely happy with our stay at Blue Heron. From the moment we booked to our departure, the service was excellent. During our stay, we kept marveling at how everything we needed was right at our fingertips. Every possible need was considered from the availability of coffee, cooking supplies, personal items and equipment/supplies for our excursions to Algonquin. The home is beautiful and comfortable and we would consider returning as soon as we can.

“Perfect winter getaway to experience great Canadi

My kids (17 and 13) and I had such a great little winter vacation and were able to pack so many activities in just 4 days with great savings thanks to the free Algonquin pass provided and being in such a great location. Snow shoes were available at the cottage so we could go snow shoeing around the lake which the cottage is on. Arrowhead park was just 15 mins away and we were provided with a free Algonquin pass that saved us the daily park/access fee per car. There, we did tubing, which was free, skating which was also free (for those that brought our own skates and skate rentals available for those that didn't), and cross-country skiing. There are also snow shoe trails at this park. It was so beautiful. Susan was so welcoming when we arrived. The place was clean, cozy and again some complimentary extra's that we really appreciated. The extra bedroom was used and we all slept great....warm blankets, clean rooms and comfortable beds. I can't say enough about our experience at Blue Heron's Cove but need to mention a very important extra that we've never experienced before which is how dog-friendly they were. No extra charge to bring our dog! ...and there were dog treats left for him too. I was in a pinch and was going to forego one additional activity we wanted to try (dog sledding) because we couldn't take or leave our dog but Susan offered to watch him for us! I knew our dog was in good hands with her and her family (which I also met both her son and daughter when we were checking out and all were very kind). We really hope to experience the cottage in the summer, spring and fall and hope we get the opportunity to. With so many great reviews I'll need to book early!

Perfect Getaway

Blue Heron Cottage was the perfect getaway for my husband and I, our two-year-old girl, and our Bernese Mountain Dog. The cottage apartment was fully stocked with everything we needed - from cream for our coffee and fresh towels, to board books and stuffed animals tucked away for our little one. The waterfront was perfect for all of us - a dock for the dog to jump off and swim to shore, a shallow area for our toddler to play, and a beautiful view of the sunset each night for us. Our family loves to hike, so the park pass and proximity to Algonquin Park was perfect. One of the best surprises was the one-of-a-kind tree house that captured our little girl's imagination! We made so many great memories. Thank you Susan.

Beautiful Muskoka view!

The property was everything my husband and I were looking for. The fact that we had our own water front was perfect. We could sunbathe when we wanted or make use of the canoe (which we did every day!). We made use of the fire pit every night and were able to have such lovely evenings on the lake as well. The view from the door and lake front is exactly what you want when you stay in Muskoka. You can see beautifully calm waters and lush greenery. It was like looking at a post card. Susan was amazing and very accommodating. My husband and I had just gotten married and the property allowed us to be alone and de-stress after a hectic few months. We could not have been happier with our choice!

Ruhe und Entspannung pur

Das Ferienhaus liegt direkt am See. Durch den Kamin wirkt die Innenausstattung sehr romantisch. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Zur Entspannung gibt es draußen eine Hängematte, Schaukel und Liegen. Den Sonnenuntergang kann man direkt am See genießen. Ein Boot lädt zum Paddeln ein und für Kinder steht ein Baumhaus bereit. Gegen lange Weile gibt es interessante Bücher und auch verschiedene Spiele. Ein Ausflug in den Algonquinpark lohnt sich. Alles in Allem haben wir da sehr schöne Tage verbracht.

It was a pleasure :)

It was a pleasure, Susan. - we went out on the dock on Saturday night and, even though I thought the Perseid meteor storm had passed, we saw one incredible shooting star that lasted a good five seconds. Friday, with the weather looking ominous, we went on a brewery and gastropub excursion (we are both foodies) through Gravenhurst and Bracebridge. Saturday morning was hiking around west end of Algonquin. Nicole had never been to the Park, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Saturday evening was spent dockside at Blue Heron with the pooches (whom had settled in well by then - they are all adopted from shelters and suffer separation anxiety at first) - watched a beaver coming out from the neighbouring property, the shooting star, and then had an awesome lake-side fire under the stars. Sunday morning we canoed around the whole lakeshore, there are some spectacular places. The highlight of the canoe trip was being up close and personal with a loon that was more than happy to show off his plumage a few feet from us (a real show-off - I have kayaked close to loons, but they are shy and will submerge. This guy was anything but shy - hung out with us and another couple fishing. Incredible!). My regret is I didn't pop in to meet Travis Shilling at Jeff Miller's studio, but we had to head back to Toronto and Guelph. We really enjoyed Blue Heron, All the best, Gavin
